The small plates are very good. It just that the wait staff hasn't heard that their's is called the hospitality industry. I've been in there multiple times. Always a "mistake" on the bill. Never in my favor. There's a sign for valet parking. This is a joke. You really have to make a u-turn and drive up the hill across... more

Jim, the manager is RUDE, arrogant, and extremely unprofessional. He managed to mishandle a very simple situation and made a special day a total catastrophe. The service was horrible. In fact, another customer was complaining when we were there. Food on the other hand - was excellent. more

From breakfast to dinner, everything is great, and inventive too. I'm a sauce girl, so I was dying when I first tried the garlic shrimp. I just had my wedding there, and all anyone could talk about was how amazing the food was. Also try the poke, lamb chops, & seared ahi. more

We didn't eat at the restaurant, but had appetizers and drinks on the roof top bar ($10 for a mixed drink, $9 for a glass of wine). We were there for the sunset...along with all of the other tourists in town. So make sure you get here early to stake out your table. We arrived an hour before sunset and... more

My wife and I went here last night and found it a wonderful place. Crowded. Definitely caters to the young rich and wannabe rich. We are both in our 50s and felt out of place. Best to order the small plates. Great variety. Lobster and scallops were super and the steak very nicely prepared. Parking, like all parking in Laguna... more

Did not stay at the hotel but had drinks and appetizers on the rooftop bar. What an awesome view. They provide blankets when it gets too cold. more

Party of six on a Friday night, no reservation, no problem (even though the place looked packed). The Maitre de was apologetic that we had to wait for 15 minutes in the comfy lounge area while sipping our cocktails. The service was friendly and fast. Some of the guys in the group had large meals while the rest of us... more

Located right by the shore, so close you can see the waves hit the beach and you can smell the salt in the air. The food is just as good. Delicious steak and scallops. They have the this pesto butter that goes on the bread. more
